Airbus introduces additional features to its iPad application for pilots

The “FlySmart with Airbus” application integrates Airbus’ EFB software with the tablet’s iOS operating system, providing its Electronic Flight Bag performance-calculating applications for pilots on iPad – making Airbus the first aircraft manufacturer to offer this feature.

Since the official launch of FlySmart with Airbus, the company has added new applications, which are accessible from pilots’ hand-held digital devices:

• FlySmart with Airbus/Manager, which allows the user to update the operational data of its Electronic Flight Bag applications suite in a centralized manner;

• FlySmart with Airbus/Loadsheet, enabling pilots to compute weight and balance data of the aircraft according to the type of operations and aircraft loading, and considering easy handling of last minute changes.

Additionally, new features have been developed for the takeoff and landing applications such as optimum configuration, multiple runway computations, export of computations and computation time improvement.
